Many injured demonstrators in Iran are avoiding hospitals for fear of arrest. In Germany, a network of doctors and medical staff of Iranian origin is offering remote support, including video consultations.

Wounded Iranian protesters are receiving remote medical support from ParsiMed, a Germany‑based network of Iranian doctors, psychologists and pharmacists. They guide people with little medical access through treating injuries while avoiding hospitals due to state reprisals.

With the internet blocked in Iran, satellite links keep vital medical and emotional support alive.
